Previous 20-Years GATE Questions
Keys
GATE-1. Square key of side "d/4" each and length l is used to transmit torque "T"
from the shaft of diameter "d" to the hub of a pulley. Assuming the length
of the key to be equal to the thickness of the pulley, the average shear
stress developed in the key is given by

along the weld. The shear strength of the weld material is equal to 200
MPa. The factor of safety is

GATE-4. A threaded nut of M16, ISO metric type, having 2 mm pitch with a pitch
diameter of 14.701 mm is to be checked for its pitch diameter using two or
three numbers of balls or rollers of the following sizes
[GATE-2003]
(a) Rollers of 2 mm
(b) Rollers of 1.155 mm
(c) Balls of 2 mm
(d) Balls of 1.155 mm
GATE-4. Ans. (b)
Cotters
Assertion (A): A cotter joint is used to rigidly connect two coaxial rods carrying
tensile load.
Reason (R): Taper in the cotter is provided to facilitate its removal when it fails
due to shear.
[IES-2008]
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
IES-1. Ans. (b) A cotter is a flat wedge shaped piece of rectangular cross-section and its
width is tapered (either on one side or both sides) from one end to another for an
easy adjustment. The taper varies from 1 in 48 to 1 in 24 and it may be increased up
to 1 in 8, if a locking device is provided. The locking device may be a taper pin or a
set screw used on the lower end of the cotter. The cotter is usually made of mild
steel or wrought iron. A cotter joint is a temporary fastening and is used to connect
rigidly two co-axial rods or bars which are subjected to axial tensile or compressive
forces.

In order to reduce the variation in chain speed, the number of teeth on the sprocket
should be increased. It has been observed that the speed variation is 4% for a
sprocket with 11 teeth, 1.6% fro a sprocket with 24 teeth.
For smooth operation at moderate and high speeds, it is considered a good practice
to use a driving sprocket with at least 17 teeth. For durability and noise
considerations, the minimum number of teeth on the driving sprocket should be 19
or 21.

Assertion (A): The Lewis equation for design of gear tooth predicts the static load
capacity of a cantilever beam of uniform strength.
Reason (R): According to law of gears interchangeability is possible only when
gears have same pressure angle and same module. [IES-2008]
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
IES-55Ans. (b) The beam strength of gear teeth is determined from an equation (known as
Lewis equation) and the load carrying ability of the toothed gears as determined by
this equation gives satisfactory results. In the investigation, Lewis assumed that as
the load is being transmitted from one gear to another, it is all given and taken by
one tooth, because it is not always safe to assume that the load is distributed among
several teeth.
Notes: (i) The Lewis equation is applied only to the weaker of the two wheels (i.e. pinion or
gear).
(ii) When both the pinion and the gear are made of the same material, then pinion is
the weaker.
(iii) When the pinion and the gear are made of different materials, then the product of
( w y ) or ( o y ) is the deciding factor. The Lewis equation is used to that wheel

Where and E remaining constant,
U is proportional to (A.L.) which is volume.
Also, since U is a function of 2 , that portion of the part which is prone to high
localised will absorb a high amount of energy, making it vulnerable to failure. Such
a part, therefore, is designed to have such a contour that, when it is subjected to
time-varying or impact loads or others types of dynamic forces, the part absorbs or
less uniform stress distribution along the whole length of the part is ensured.
